This ain't your mama's book club! The focus of the club is to read and discuss books.

Our members read all genres, and some of our best discussions have been about books that have been suggested that aren't "best sellers." We are an ongoing g …

December 22, 2012 Today was the day to bring lesbians together of all ages who would like to go to dinners, movies, walks, breakfast, start a book group, picnics, good Theater, or classical music and even the opera. As I was perusing the various groups I clearly noticed, that lesbians of all ages were left out of the picture. Hey, I know I'm still active and I bet all of you are too.
